City Life XL — Screenprint

Started with concrete. London pavement at 6am when the light catches the aggregate just right. That metallic glint you get off wet tarmac, car bonnets, the Millennium Bridge when the sun hits it sideways.

This is what happens when you spend twenty years learning every rule of screenprinting just to break them apart. Four layers that shouldn't work together but do. The blue glitter isn't decoration — it's structure. It holds the urban energy in place, makes the static image pulse like a night bus window or a shop front at closing time.

City Life XL — an extra-large 4-layer screenprint that captures the metallic shimmer of London streets. Each print builds the city in stages: base layer, shadow, highlight, then that final scatter of blue glitter that makes it breathe.

The Process:

Hand-pulled in the Kimpton studio on 300gsm Heritage rag paper. The glitter layer goes on last — timing has to be perfect or it clumps. No two prints catch the light exactly the same way. That's the point.

Limited to 30 prints. Each one signed and embossed. The 800 x 800mm format demands wall space but earns it — this isn't background art.

Details:

• 4-layer hand-pulled screenprint with metallic blue glitter
• Limited edition of 30
• 800 x 800mm (extra-large square format)

Care:

Keep away from direct sunlight and damp. The glitter layer is stable but frame with UV-protective glass for longevity. Ships wrapped in acid-free tissue, in a reinforced tube for unframed prints.

This is for collectors who understand that the city isn't just buildings and roads — it's light bouncing off surfaces, energy caught between concrete and sky. For walls that can handle something this direct.
